This will be short, as I got in late last night and everyone is up early this morning.
Vacation Bible School went well yesterday. Last year on the first day, they had 60 students. Yesterday, they had 80. Everyone was very happy with the turnout. Yesterday`s emphasis was that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Each day we have a central theme and verse(s). The younger kids learn shorter verses and the older students learn longer verses.
Our team is entirely in a support role, so we help set up the puppet stage, put up a tarp to keep out the sun and hauled grass from the area where we are working to a compost area (a lady continued to "mow" the grass with a weed-whacker).
Afterwards, Rod took us on a ride up the mountains to see the two volcanoes in the area, one active and one dormant. We also went to a waterfall and stream. Seemed just like Colorado. On the drive, Rod and I talked quite a bit about everything from the national literacy rates in Mexico to our favorite music and everything in between.
We ate supper at a modern Mexican mall. I drove home with Samuel, and we talked about how he uses science and physics to share the gospel with students in Mexico.
Today is day 2 of VBS and afterwards, some of us may go with Darroll when he teaches a self-defense class in Puebla, and see how he uses it for ministry.
